2. MDOR The Industry. Manufacturing companies today are under tremendous pressure to turn their present processes into a much more environmentally friendly or “Green” direction. The public’s concerns over possible global warming and its long range consequences are driving many executives to search for alternative answers to long used standards. Another challenge confronting such companies is maintaining the ability to keep their costs in line as they try to go “Greener”.

Quality rubber powders of high purity for large scale application are very much in demand on the market, but presently cannot be supplied in the required amounts, or in some cases, even at all. Quality rubber powders specifically of a grain size of less than 0.300 mm permit the substitution of primary raw materials. The specific surface of the grain is considerably enlarged, thus improving the adhesive strength properties significantly. The rubber powders currently on the market are mainly products of plants for ambient grinding and are not as fine and pure as required for high-value products. Yet these very properties are a prerequisite for major industrial techniques.

In injection moldings, for instance in the automobile industry, it is absolutely impossible to use rubber powders other than those of grain sizes of <0.250 mm. MDOR’s proprietary technology provides a one of a kind solution to all of the above challenges. In fact, our licensing rights with Spreelast have optimized the necessary grinding and purification technology, making it possible to produce the finest rubber powders of grain sizes of < 0.250mm, on a large scale. Thus, the application of recycled rubber powders in the field of high-value elastomer products became possible.

This provides huge advantages; such as:
- Excellent reductions in the cost of manufactured end use products through the substitution of rubber powders;
- Providing “Green” company initiatives, utilizing the recycled products in the manufacturing process, thus helping to make companies more “environmentally friendly”; and,
- Helping eliminate used tire buildup in landfills and unlawful disposal around the countryside, thus reducing a major pollution hazard to the environment.

These processes not only provide a new and expansive methodology for the recycling of rubber, but do so at a cost of as much as 40% below the present cost of producing thermoplastic elastomers (TPE’s).
